Lesson on mining to a grade 7 science class.

I was invited to one of the middle schools that feed into my school to give a lesson on mining in the area and relate it to rock classification that they had been working on in class. We recorded the lesson so it could be used by other classes and shared to anyone else wanting to view it. In this lesson I talk about the gold rush, or gold rushes in general. Local legends of lost gold mines. How important mining is to our economy. And what types of mines we have close by and how important they are to every day life. W also talk a bit about mine reclamation and old mine shafts (adits)

This video is produced by Dan Hurd, Prospector, Miner, Teacher and YouTuber, as part of his YouTube channel based on educational videos about gold mining, gold panning, prospecting, rock hounding, and mineral collecting.
